Portland debut performance

A month ago Bill signed us up to play a late-nite slot at Comedysportz theater in Portland.
The time came and last night was my first show in this West Coast Town.
We went under the name 'Swingers' originally - as it was two couples: Bill & Betse, Stacey & myself.
Betse, however got sick over the weekend and couldn't make the show - so we made it a Trio.

Our suggestion was Hopscotch - which inspired our first scene to be about a Mafia-run hopscotch competition with the current champion (Stacey) the Mob boss (Bill) and the new contender (Me)
While it was a bit on the wacky side - it set us up for the rest of this fun rollercoaster show.

highlights include:
Stacey as a young miss america pageant winner who was there to cut the ribbon on a new tire store with me as her guidance she-man and bill as the store owner. (I'll get the dumper).

Me in a car at a Sonic drive-thru with Stacey as the drive-thru worker with too much going on.

The data-entry office, viewing youtube clips of Miss America (from the tire store) catching on fire and stapling faces.

The old drunk (Bill), His horse (me) and his lonely little girl (Stacey)...

and on and on...

There was a lot of fun had. So much so I had to pull it together a couple of times during the course of the show... I was breaking a lot, but it was a very successful show.
